Map visualisation on Pentaho CE

I am running Pentaho ce 5.3, I already tested it with a star schema cube and it works fine.

Now I would like to visualize into maps mdx queries on dimensions (including spatial ones) stored in Postgis.

I don't know if it is possible, or should I add any plugin for this matter?

You have more options depending on what do you want to visualize. If you want to show:

Map with markers: I recommand to use NewMapComponent. Documentation and example can be found in Pentaho > Browse Files > Public > plugin-samples > CDE Reference > Map Component Reference. You can choose different providers of map layer, zoom to any position defined by longitude and latitude, and so on. The NewMapComponent (CDE editor > Components Panel > Custom > NewMapComponent) configuration:
- Operation mode: Markers
- Map Engine: Openlayers
- Tilesets to display as layers: google
- Datasource: Need to contain those fields - City, Longitude, Latitude, Measure (or City, Measure)

Map with regions / countries: I recommand to use SVG Vector Map from IvyDC - Ivy Dashboard Components plugin (can be downloaded from Marketplace). Which uses this map library with world map, coutries map, etc. Documentation and example can be found in Pentaho > Tools > Ivy Dashboard Components. SVG Vector Map (CDE editor > Components Panel > Ivy IS > SVG Vector Map) world map configuration:
- Map File: World
- Datasource: Need to contain those fields - Country, Measure
